About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for a Portable Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) system. This procurement seeks a comprehensive integrated solution including a three-dimensional measurement device with a minimum measurement range of 1x1x1 meters (expandable to 2x2x2 meters), achieving resolution of 0.0001 millimeters or better, coupled with a laptop controller running Microsoft Windows 11 LTSC 64-bit and specialized measurement software capable of GD&T calculations without internet connectivity. The Air Force Metrology Calibration Program (AFMETCAL) requires the system to operate within environmental ranges of 18°C to 28°C and 20% to 60% relative humidity, with measurement uncertainty specifications compliant with ASME B89.4 or ISO 10360 standards. Interested parties must provide documentation supporting their company's capability to meet these technical requirements, including details on how they would overcome any capability gaps through teaming or subcontracting arrangements. Responses to this RFI are due by February 28, 2026, and all costs associated with responding are the responsibility of the participating company; this is a market research activity, not a binding solicitation, and the government will not provide funding for response preparation.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and encourages participation from both large and small businesses, as well as joint ventures and teaming arrangements. No incumbent contractor information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Currently, no funds are available for this acquisition, and the government has not yet determined the required security clearance level or extent of foreign participation. Upon award, the contractor must deliver the complete CMM system with mounting equipment, probe styluses, a staging table with calibration equipment, and a rugged waterproof carrying case, followed by on-site installation at multiple locations including overseas facilities. The contractor must also provide eight hours of hands-on training upon completion, an operator's manual conforming to DD1423 specifications, and a five-year warranty covering all repairs and calibration services. The procurement anticipates providing all necessary software licenses, installation disks, and technical support at no additional cost to the government.
